It’s the initial description that pushes me to describe Wave as advanced IM, not email. The yet-to-be-released service seems to come across as an amorphous group chat, but with the ability to pin your replies or comments onto a specific portion of the Wave, just like pointing out a specific picture within an album and starting a discussion over it. Thus Wave communiques seem to take a more multi-point approach, again much like many people expressing themselves within a group chat, rather than the one-to-one or one-to-many reality of current email.

Thoughts? Question? Violent reactions? Leave a comment below. You can sign up your email for Google Wave’s launch notification on wave.google.com.
